udhcpc does not fail on vmwares with standard hardware and does not fail
on machines with be2net/be2iscsi nics. Tests with bnx2 and bnx2x nics
were also successful.

Actually, compiling the aufs modules is not really straight

Please let me know of that makes things work for you - I authored this

And surely some
like to vote for some
enhancements of the docu, for people like me who like to have everything
explained in detail. :-)
Necessary packages:
